In North America, it will retail at $199, releasing in black, red and blue. European pricing is yet to be confirmed, though the console will launch in blue, red and silver and doesn't come with an AC adaptor, although it does contain a 4GB SD card.

Perhaps surprisingly, the machine's new design doesn't include a second circle pad, meaning that it will need its own version of the Circle Pad Pro to get the best out of games such as Resident Evil Revelations.
